Internet newsletter for lawyers/Internet-Newsletter für Juristen
am 10.07.2007 von Transblawg
Delia Venables' Internet Newsletter for Lawyers has a new look and is now produced jointly with Nick Holmes of infolaw.
It costs money, so many readers will say there is enough to read out there. However, it's always excellent and now it has the advantage that a glimpse of the contents can be seen by non-lawyers.
An article on Web 2.0 mentioned The Legal Scholarship Network, actually part of the Social Science Research Network (that is, there is not just law there, but several subject areas).
The Legal Scholarship Network, a joint project hosted by Stanford Law School and the European Corporate Governance Institute, provides an open facility to upload and catalogue legal research and position papers on legislation and other issues. Currently the site holds more than 75,000 papers. There have been almost 10 million downloads to date. Clearly there is a demand for collaborative expertise and perhaps this is how Web 2.0 may be used by lawyers.
I downloaded a couple of papers, including Hill, Claire A. and King, Christopher, “How Do German Contracts Do As Much With Fewer Words?” . Chicago-Kent Law Review, Vol. 79, p. 889, 2004 Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=596668.
